4.8. STO (Safe Torque Off) Inputs (J1)
Activation of Safe Torque Off causes the drive to stop providing power that can cause rotation
(or motion in the case of a linear motor) to the motor.
This function may be used to prevent unexpected motor rotation (of brushless DC motors)
without disconnecting the drive from the power supply.
The motor is active only as long as 24 VDC (or 5 V for the TTL option) is provided to both STO1
and STO2. Whenever any input voltage is no longer present, power is not provided to the
motor and the motor shaft continues to rotate to an uncontrolled stop.
In circumstances where external influences (for example, falling of suspended loads) are
present, additional measures such as mechanical brakes are necessary to prevent any hazard.
This function corresponds to an uncontrolled stop in accordance with Stop Category 0 of IEC
60204-1.
Note: This function does not protect against electrical shock, and additional measures to
turn the power off are necessary.
The following table defines the behavior of the motor as a function of the state of the STO
inputs:
Signal – STO1 Signal – STO2 Function
Not Active Not Active Motor is disabled
Not Active Active Motor is disabled
Active Not Active Motor is disabled
Active Active Motor can be enabled

Note: In the Gold Trombone, STO1 also latches a software disable condition.
Pin (J1) Signal Function
14 STO1 Safety 1 input (default 24 V)
13 STO2 Safety 2 input (default 24 V)
12 STO_RET Safety signal return
